Dromerige afro-soul’ noemde NRC het eerder dit jaar: Namvula mengt de urbane en plattelandstradities van haar Zambiaanse vaderland met haar Schotse roots en voegt nog een snufje latin jazz, folk en Londense hipheid toe. Met smaak, oprechtheid en aansprekende teksten overschrijdt de singer-songwriter zowel lands- als genregrenzen. Muziek is voor haar een spiegel: de tegenstrijdigheden van het dagelijks leven vormen de belangrijkste inspiratie voor haar opzwepende songs. Namvula werkte al eerder samen met Hugh Masekela, Anoushka Shankar en Maureel Lilanda en speciaal voor dit concert neemt ze koraspeler Kadialy mee.

uKanDanZ plays an unique style. It’s an unusual meeting between an electric quartet from France and Asnake Guebreye’s terrific voice. This charismatic lead singer originates from the vibrant music scene in Addis Abeba. Their music is inspired by traditional and popular Ethiopian songs. uKanDanZ is a blast of real energy and emotion. Ethiopia meets rock, jazz, and noise… With impertinence, they rock it wildly. No compromise. Guitar, saxophone, bass, drums and vocals shake the roof. Experience it yourself… and be overwhelmed.

Dit optreden staat in het teken van ‘Na Drê’, haar vierde album dat eerder dit jaar het licht zag. Volgens Dobet is dit album haar meest persoonlijke tot nu toe: zowel teksten als muziek schreef ze voor het eerst allemaal zelf. In Dobets muziek komen invloeden uit rumba congolaise, highlife en verschillende andere stijlen samen in een unieke, pan-Afrikaanse sound. Sommige critici bestempelen haar als de opvolgster van Mariam Makeba. Geen verkeerde vergelijking, maar iedereen die Dobet Gnahoré eerder zag optreden, weet dat de zangeres en danseres vooral als zichzelf klinkt.
